We have all heard that socialism fails when the socialist runs out of other people's money. The demise of the liberal is inevitable because they view government as that source for their security. Their security is not accomplished by objective thought or personal achievement. They need more people to think the way they do. Leaving the only means to accomplish such a task is to politically indoctrinate more people into believing that government is the source of all forms of security. This is the foundation of liberalism since the early 1900's and was sealed in the New Deal by a "packed Supreme Court." You have FDR to thank for that!

What do we have to show for this New Deal and the Great Society 70 plus years later? Debt! Debts as far as the mind can see or possibly imagine and even sadder is a populist whose minds have been groomed to expect entitlements.

Now if you are an educator and in particular a liberal educator you will have already dismissed these statements as absurd and say to yourself. "We are not socialists, I have a mind of my own, I do all kinds of things independent of others" we just need to collect more taxes! Which is their answer every time there is a budget crunch! The genius of a collective mind!

Liberals can appear sane except when it comes to politics, then the liberals have a mind melt that can only be described as, "The Borg." You take one good hard look at these "professionals" protesting around the Wisconsin State House and you will see professionals chanting, banging drums and carrying on as one mind! Liberals love a good cause or protest! It makes them feel they belong! They have had literally years of this group therapy. They belong to nothing short of a socialist's state of mind!

Our educational system is by in large populated with these liberals and this socialist mind set. There are quite a few surveys that support their numbers as a ratio of 90% liberal and 10% conservative.

The teachers union, the NEA, has no threat of oppression by a fat cat CEO. Their CEO is us "We the People" and their directive is to maintain their monopoly of education and political power over us... above and beyond who gets in the way or the fiscal soundness of our states or our nation!

And the most vulnerable of all is our children... our children's minds that are in their control everyday of their educational journey. That is a long, long time!

I would like to quote the NEA's top lawyer Bob Chanin speaking at the NEA's annual meeting in July 2009:

"Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. The NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power."

"And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees."

"This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing dropout rates, improving teacher quality and the like are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary. These are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights and collective bargaining. That simply is too high a price to pay."[[In-content Ad]]

So who is this great boogieman Mr. Chanin? "We the People"

I say the demise of the liberal is inevitable because they only view their survival as achievable by political power as well said by Bob Chanin. And to have that political power you must have a majority to consistently vote and elect into office politicians who will provide them with the legislation and the revenue to maintain their monopoly on education.

The NEA has 3.2 million members who pay dues and have consistently put their support behind Democrat Presidential nominees since Jimmy Carter, who strangely enough founded the Department of Education (DE). Education is one occupation that liberals can survive in with little accountability and most definitely is a life style that can easily attract young minds looking for that well paying occupation with the added bonus of security.

We have a very, very strong political slant in our halls of primary and higher education and it is not healthy to the maintenance of a free society in fact it is destructive!

You tell me how it is possible to maintain a free society when the very foundations of our educational system harbors the unshakeable notion that their fundamental security rests on their grip on government itself and our education!

What would Benjamin Franklin say to that when he said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. " What fascinates me about this quote is Franklin's reference to safety as "temporary!" Meaning the security from government won't last! How did he know?

The liberal educator consistently grooms students in their political beliefs for the duration of their education with common used words that most would view as harmless. But when used to describe everything as in a collective or a class of people it starts to melt away any notion that you are an individual. Thus the great illusion of "diversity." The basis for the "classification" of humans and the political correctness to welcome them all into the fold or demonize them as conservatives. Diversity is divisive of human nature and cultures so as to give everyone a group to belong to so no one feels alone in the world.

What happens to a liberal when "one" is pulled out of the herd? Apparently they have a nervous breakdown. Fox News interviewed one receiving a medical excuse for being at the Wisconsin revolt and said quite plainly, "she can't take the strain of uncertainty."

The college classroom is a collective setting and the educator has a captive audience and the audience is filled with unfinished minds that are most open and eager to learn. And above all wish to get a "good grade" so-as-to go back into society to make a decent living.

Now comes the obvious consequence of the educator's political slant. "Our children's ultimate political slant!" And after their formal education and whether their final mind set is either the liberal mind or the conservative mind! With the size of the government as we see it today, I would say they have been successful in their political indoctrination.

The liberal has finally reached political mass, and that mass has turned to critical mass unsustainable by the productive people. And is now collapsing in on itself and we the people who foot the bill for their power can sense it or out right see it!

Education as an occupation will always have a need just like I can count on people needing a carpenter. The big difference is I don't seek my next job with the force of law I get it because I'm accountable and answerable for my actions.

I would like to impress upon the liberal that liberty is an atmosphere for all humanity to breath and with all minds free to think... even the least of us have the individual unique capacities to see something that no other person could. And that, that vision could launch a thought that could solve the problems of any and all kinds.

And if I have irritated many liberals with this article... I could care less, because I value liberty over security and the free mind is the mind with a vision instead of a mind constantly seeking security.

Liberty in this country should not have to be eternal vigilantes to maintain. The liberal should realize they are holding this nation from evolving by wasting our time fending off their attacks on our liberties.

Look at all the minds that are tied up in liberal thought education. They are busy collecting data on the human impact on our world and cutting off our need for the earth's resources as though the rest of us are parasites! The liberal mind is a "muckrake" seeking control instead of answers! A moron can piss and moan!

We as a people are going to have to realize that government's natural tendency is to grow and public schools are doing just that!
